A son may still be son,but a DEAD SON IS STILL A DEAD SON. And a DEAD SON HAS NO LIFE.
I suppose your definition of eternal and everlasting is TEMPORARY.....
You guys are so deceived and blind.....you say and teach one can lose ETERNAL LIFE by sin yet John said ONE born from above DOES not SIN...WHY...BECAUSE it is the SPIRIT that has been born again, eternally saved, sealed, justified and sanctified positionally IN CHRIST..it is bound in a BODY OF SIN THAT IS DEAD BECAUSE of SIN and my life is HID within CHRIST......too bad for you when you stand in the group that brags about all of the wonderful things you have done for Christ which you perceive is your TICKET and right to enter the kingdom.......Good luck with your CAINOLOGY as he offered his WORKS and was rejected.....ABEL offered FAITH in the BLOOD as was deemed righteous and received!
